On Sunday there is the Pico Mini Series and the Benfleet Shield / TBYC Bank Holiday Mini Series. As most of our Cadet will want to compete in one of these, we will not run the New Cadet Racing.

At the last start in 2013 there was not much advertising and it also started on a work day, this year however it is different, so thought we should update you here.

The race allows people to race around the world against other 70 foot racing yachts all of the same design and you could just go to St Katherines Docks this week and sign up for the next. The whole race costs around £40,000 but for less money you can complete single legs and the training sessions.

This year, the boats come down to Southend this Sunday leaving St Katherines around lunchtime and mooring opposite us overnight. On Bank Holiday Monday the race starts from the end of the pier at 12:30.

If your not racing why not walk or even sail to the end of the pier to watch the start. If it is a nice day it could be spectacular.

Hi everyone

This is to let you know the kitchen will be closed tomorrow, Wednesday 19th.

Myself, and in fact the whole kitchen crew, are pretty worn out and our legs need a day to recover!

Normal service resumes on Thursday.

Apologies for any inconvenience

Regards

Steve
